Freedom Charity Education Package

Freedom Charity offers an outstanding educational package, which includes: safeguarding training for teachers and staff, on issues such as preventing radicalisation and dishonour abuse, as well as access to PSHE Association accredited lesson plans on Forced Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation; assemblies and workshops on all dishonour abuse delivered by Freedom Charity’s founder, Aneeta Prem; copies of Aneeta’s book, ‘But It’s Not Fair’, for every student; and a structured ambassador scheme for motivated pupils.

Assemblies and Workshops

To date, Freedom Charity has worked with over 100 schools in the UK and has donated tens of thousands of copies of Aneeta Prem’s novel, ‘But It’s Not Fair’, to students and education professionals. Aneeta’s innovative and expert presentations, combined with the novel and PSHE lesson plans, provide students across all Key Stages with the knowledge to engage with, and discuss, complex human rights issues. Aneeta’s school visits are acknowledged as being vital in combatting violent crimes, dishonour-based violence and forced marriage. Many leading professionals, including Nicky Morgan MP, Secretary of State for Education and Di Harrill, Head of PSHE, have attended the school sessions and highly recommend them to your school.

Teacher and Safeguarding Training

Aneeta and her team deliver tailored safeguarding training for the police, judiciary, educational establishments, the NHS and social services. Our safeguarding training, specifically developed for educationalists, includes workshops on:

Violent and dishonour-based crimes: what to look for and how to spot the signs;

How to support and protect young people at risk:

Educating and supporting young people about forced marriage, FGM and dishonour-based violence;

As part of our training programme, we also provide lesson plans on both forced marriage and FGM.

Ambassadors Opportunities

Our latest initiative is the recently developed Ambassador Scheme. This structured programme is aimed at highly motivated students and has two principal targets:

To publiciseFreedom Charity and the work we undertake.

To raise funds, which will enable the charity to increase its outreach programmes.

Student Ambassadors are encouraged to raise awareness, in their school and community, of violent crime, dishonour-based violence and forced marriage. We also hope that Student Ambassadors will be inspired to fundraise for the charity so that it can continue its vital work. Highly motivated Ambassadors, from across the UK, will be invited to attend a Freedom Charity Ambassador Training Day to further develop their awareness of our work and to discuss future fundraising initiatives.

Testimonials

“Aneeta’s presentation compelling, chilling and hugely thought-provoking. We hope that this is the beginning of a long-term partnership with Freedom Charity”

G. BartonHead Teacher

“The whole day was amazing and the staff and students found the workshops exceptional !”

S. ConnorDeputy Headteacher

“Aneeta – you are a very powerful speaker. Privileged to listen to you this morning.”

A. CooperChief Executive Academy Trust

“Aneeta’s presentation and book signing was incredibly thought provoking and superbly delivered. More importantly her engagement with any student she is able to speak with will mean that this summer she will be making the difference to many lives of potentially vulnerable children. She is also helping to educate the future generations about the wrongs of forced marriage.”

M.WycherleyDeputy Head

“I strongly urge all schools to invite the Freedom Charity to their school. The presentation is engaging and students from all year groups listened attentively. We also found it a good opportunity to invite students from other local schools to join us. I believe, as teachers, it is our job to ensure young people are aware of issues such as this. Not only so that they too can campaign, but so that they are able to spots signs of forced marriage and give help, now or in the future.”

D. HarrillHead of PSHE

“Aneeta – you are a very powerful speaker. Privileged to listen to you this morning.”

A. CooperChief ExecutiveAcademy Trust

“This is a fantastic book and what this really does is makes this an approachable subject for young people and really highlights that things may be going on in our communities that we don’t know about, and the more we know about it the better and that’s the role this book should play.”

Tom BrakeMP

“As a school, we feel that this was one of the most important pupil workshop and staff training sessions we held.”

“Aneeta’s talk with our children was pitched at a perfect level and they all seemed to understand the concept of good and bad secrets which is so important for our children.”
